Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing.

Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Authentic Spring Style with Walmart

This post is sponsored by Walmart and ShopStyle.  All opinions are my own.

If there’s one thing you all probably know about me by now, it’s that I love a good casual outfit.  Comfortable, cute, and casual are the words I’d use to describe my perfect look and one that makes me feel most like my true authentic self.  What do I mean by authentic?  Something that comes effortlessly and just feels right.  I love getting dressed up for special events as much as the next girl, but day to day, casual is my jam.  If you can add that the styles are also on trend, great quality, versatile AND affordable…well then, that right there is a grand slam, my friends.  Today I’m sharing three different outfits that showcase my authentic spring style with Walmart.  I love that Walmart’s “We Dress America” campaign gives so many different style options so regardless of your personal style, you can find something both trendy and unique to your individual taste.

Authentic Spring Style with Walmart

Outfit #1: T-shirt & Jeans

I’ll go on record to say it’s very hard to beat a t-shirt and jeans look, and I’m sure many of you would agree with me!  It’s just such a perfect go-to look where I feel put together but it’s really easy and never goes out of style.  I love that this v-neck t-shirt is under $8, comes in a ton of colors and these jeans are under $20!  Not only that, but these jeans are SO comfortable; I think they might be the most comfortable pair I’ve ever owned.  They’re stretchy and flattering, even on this pregnant bod!  I sized up one size since I’m preggo, but would say that they run true to size.  They come in a few different colors/washes too! The cuffing detail at the bottom is so cute and it has just the right amount of distressing.  Here is another pair of jeans I’m really loving too!!

My cross strap sandals and tote bag are also from Walmart! I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough cute little slip on sandals for spring and summer.  They just go with EVERYTHING.  And this tote bag was really calling my name…I mean it would be great for so many different outfits: casual like this one, work wear, or for travel!  The color I have is “sand” but it also comes in about 8 other colors so you can find the one that most speaks to you!

Outfit #2: Casual Daytime Dress & Sneakers

On the list of my must-haves (all the time, but especially pregnant) is a soft swing dress and slip on sneakers.  Also on that list (and very close to the top)?? A denim jacket.  I feel like it shouldn’t be hard to find the right denim jacket because there are a ton on the market, but in reality it IS hard to find the right one!  I am SO impressed by this one.  The length and color are perfect, and it’s so soft and stretchy!  I find a lot of denim jackets are kind of stiff and restrictive, but this one isn’t at all.

But back to this dress for a second…it’s also very soft, very stretchy, but you know what else?!  It has POCKETS.  Why women get so stoked about a dress with pockets I have no idea, but I am most definitely in that group and love that about this dress!!  It also comes in a bunch of different colors and stripes.  I know you can’t tell from the pictures but it is sleeveless, so will be a perfect dress to transition to HOT summer weather that will be here before you know it! I’m going to have to pick up a few more colors of this dress, I think.  I sized up to a large for a little extra room to fit the bump.

These sneakers are so cute with the little cutout detailing and they also have memory foam soles so they’re really comfortable! They run true to size!  Lastly, a straw tote bag is a must for spring and I love that this blush one will easily be able to double as a beach bag.  It’s packable so folds up pretty small and is great for traveling!  It has an interior zip pocket and a few inside side pockets as well.

Outfit #3: Lightweight Spring Layers

So obviously I really loved this dress so much I wanted to style it another way for you!  A little dress and button-down shirt tied over the bump is my current favorite pregnancy style, but you can obviously rock it that way, pregnant or not!  I think this shirt would also be so cute worn down with a pair of white jeans.  The front tie is so popular in tops right now and I personally can’t get enough of the functionality and versatility that it adds!!  This is another really cute button down top that has a few different color/pattern options with the front tie!

Again I paired it with my cross strap sandals and this cute little blush crossbody bag.  Pastel bags are really trendy right now and while I do gravitate mostly towards neutrals, I find myself considering blush to be a neutral 😉 and so I’ve loved grabbing a couple pink hue bags to incorporate into my wardrobe.

Fashion For All

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post of some of my favorite authentic spring styles with Walmart!  Definitely check out their clothing selection, I am so impressed by not only the variety but also the quality.  Everything is on-trend and affordable, which is always a good thing if you ask me.  Another great thing is that Walmart has free 2-day shipping and free returns for purchases over $35.  You’ll see me wearing these styles all spring and summer long!
